James,

Not sure if the thing referred to below as a marquee is what you mean,
but if so, here are some suggestions from Karen (last name unknown) that
I pulled out of the database in my sig file:

If the suggestions you've been given don't work, (IE will generally
still use a marquee even for if border=0 is set, especially for pages
within frames), there are a couple of JavaScript solutions you could
try.
---------
1. Use something like this in the <head> section:
<.SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function killdots(x)
{ if (navigator.appName == 'Microsoft Internet Explorer') x.blur(); }
</script>
and then include this in your <a ...> tag:
onClick="killdots(this)"
---------
2. Use just the following in your <a ...> tag:
<.A HREF="javascript:void(0)" onFocus="this.blur()"><IMG
SRC="image1.gif" WIDTH="100" HEIGHT="100" BORDER="0"></A>
---------
3. As an aside, to kill the dotted line around a hot spot on an image
map, when the hot spot is clicked see:
